i already have a 53 riv atlantis which takes 26 wheels, have my eye on a blue rambo in 52 that due to size also takes 26 rimshowever i was thinking it'd be nice to switch things around and do it 650b stylewould this be doable in your opinions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] FS: Sugino XD 600 triple crankset
I am selling a Sugino XD 600 triple crankset. It is a 26/36/46 with 170mm crank arms. 74 x 110. It is marked as a 7/8 speed, but I believe it will work with a 9 speed. You will need to research this on your own to determine if it will work on your bike. I had it on a 9 speed and used it for one 20 mile ride and discovered that I had ordered 170mm crank arms instead of 175 mm crank arms. My loss is your gain. It is in the original box and is in excellent condition. It is essentially new. I am asking $79.00 including shipping in the lower 48. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Thumbies vs BEs
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Between this list and the tandem list I have gotten a number of good suggestions. First, I have used chain stoppers in the past but somehow had forgotten about them, but adding one to the tandem could solve at least one problem. I am also grateful for the observation that thumbies can cause some thumb fatigue on extended rides. Since we are about to set off on a 240 mile sojourn in Quebec, this probably isn't the time to do that. Besides, one of the best things about BE is the ergonomics, which far exceeds brifters and even DTs. Besides it reminded me of why I have never considered them in the past. On a single I do 60 % of my riding on or just behind the hoods and 30% on the drops, I only occasionally use the center of the bars, so thumbies wouldn't really be all that convenient for me. On the tandem I'm on the hoods 80% of the time. I am also considering a moved to ramped and pinned rings. I have not found them to be all that beneficial on a single, but some people on the tandem list recommend them. Tandems put an enormous amount of pressure on the drive train and I have managed to train my stoker to know that when I say I'm going to drop the ring, she needs to let up on the pedals, but it's easy to get in a situation and discover that the gear you thought would take you to the top, wont, and we're pushing hard to keep going. When we bought the tandem I outfitted it with a good used DaVinci tandem crank ( a great crank, btw, I have one on my single touring bike too) and then put some used Shimano 600 rings, a 50/36/26, setup. I think I could probably do less shifting with a 53/39/28, but want to think about that. Steve and Joe have pointed out, quite correctly that BE's do shift very rapidly when you have both hands on the drops. But, I have two caveats. Our riding tends to be, as I wrote, on rural back roads, about half of which are dirt. We're not out for speed, but rather enjoying the country side, and so that tends to keep me up on the hoods. Of course I could train myself to ride the drops more when I'm in the hills, but that is most of Vt! Second a tandem is not like a single. Ours is quite long, with two long TTs and long chain stays to accommodate panniers. The two riders, the bike, water, and a couple of small bags, tools, and a pair of jackets brings the total weight up to about 385 lbs. When you're barreling along a dirt road or a broken section of chip and seal, the added sense of control from being on the hoods is quite welcome. Tandems really like to mostly go in a straight line, until the stoker starts squirming around! Finally, for the suggestion that I go over to the dark side. If all else fails I will consider brifters, probably campy and either add the jtec shiftmate, or convert the White hub. keep the rubber side down, michael, westford, vt On Jun 24, 12:00 am, Joe Bernard joerem...@gmail.com wrote: Yep, that's my question, too.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Ribbit Brakes
Hi Jason, I have them on my Quickbeam. As you mentioned they have no toe-in adjustment. I've never had problems with squeaking though. Their main disadvantage compared to, say, Tektro CR720s is that they haven't got microadjustment screws so you have to get it right and tighten the main bolt. That said, if you take your time it's not a problem in my experience but I have a park tools cable puller thingy... makes it much easier. So, all told, unless you prefer the aesthetics of the Ribbit brakes, I'd get the Tektros - why not make it easier for yourself.

[RBW] Re: Thumbies vs BEs
Why not raise the bars so the drops become a more comfortable and more controlled-feeling option? On most of my bikes I have ridden on the hoods most of the time because the bars were always on the low end of the acceptable range. On my Sam I jacked up the bars to accommodate a stem-mounted child seat, and now find myself riding the drops a lot more, and enjoying it. In MHO, BEs give the fastest double shifts and suffer the least from fatigue and soreness issues, though Campy Ergo isn't bad, either. Right now I have BEs on 4 out of 5 bikes, and rapid fire shifters on the mtn tandem, which will probably be replaced by BEs at some point. I have had Ergos on two bikes and liked them. Another couple of arcane options: Kelly Take-offs or Suntour Command Shifters (my ex had them, and I liked them, but they do require thumb force, and I'd say they are slower than BEs). I think BEs rock, though my next project will have DTs (first DTs EVER for me; I reserve the right to convert them to BEs later).

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Ribbit Brakes
I have the Ribbit brakes on one bike. I also have experience with Tektro Oryx as well as older cantilever brakes. When Mark put Ribbits on my Bianchi - he showed me how he secures the post of the brake pad in a vise, and gives the pad a gentle whack to create toe-in. So far, they have worked fine. Not as much power as the Tektro Oryx - probably less than the CR 720s as well. If I were you - I would go with Tektro Oryx or CR720s. Tektros are much easier to set up.

Re: [RBW] SFR Populaire Reminder
Just a bit more clarification on the ride. Registration actually closes today (Friday) at 5pm. Check-in for registered riders begins at 6am, not registration.

[RBW] Re: 52 rambouillet taking 26 wheels...can it be converted to 650b?
Most likely no it wont. 650B rims are a full inch larger in diameter. 584 vs 559mm Imagine the fattest 26 inch tire that Ram will accept. Subtract a half-inch off of that width. That will be the fattest 650B tire that you could take. The Riv geometry chart for the 52cm Ram says that 26x1.3 is the widest recommended. That means you'd have to be able to find a 650Bx19 or something like that. To convert a 26 bike to 650B the best candidate is a bike that starts with clearance for super fat tires to start with. For example, if you want to take PariMotos at ~38mm, you'd need a frame that fits 26x2.0 to start with. Even bigger if you wanted to fit Hetres.

It seems to load much faster if you go directly to the new Forums fomat, which can be found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rbw-owners-bunch So, just to divert comments about this - 1) Yes, it's a different presentation. I liked the older way too, but then again, I was just used to it. In a couple weeks, you'll probably never miss it. 2) Yes, it makes you reestablish your google ID connections, no longer using your previous image or moniker. No, I don't know why. If this vexes you, please direct your wrath to the folks at google, rather than share it with the group. 3) The discussion can still be enjoyed via email, rather than the site. From my point of view as list admin, it does allow some other controls, such as Locking a discussion or making an Announcement as opposed to a discussion thread, and always displaying it at the top of the list. In fact, I'll probably do a couple of those things to this post, so folks continue to see it. I'll dig into things a little more next week. All-righty, that's enough list-adminy stuff for a Friday - Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Future Rivs
I'd like to see a Rivendell bike trailer with a Nigel Smythe bag like this Jack Taylor / Goëland in Bicycle Quarterly: http://www.bikequarterly.com/images/GBwTrailer.jpg And a production version of their ill-fated Mountain Fixie, optimized for drop bars. Ideally, with a limited run of Cunningham drop bars like they did with the Bullmoose. Derailler hanger, kickstand plate and fender mounts would be acceptable, but I'm not talking about an overbuilt Fargo rig with 40,000 braze-ons. Just a fun, light, knock- around-in-the-woods bike with a long headtube and a long seatpost. Any wheel size would be fine. A complementary super-rise Nitto threadless stem, either lugged or not, painted or not, would be a fantastic bonus. I'd like to see that more than the trailer, but it's about as likely.

[RBW] Re: Thumbies vs BEs
Yup, I could do that. I set up the tandem to match my singles,which all have the bars about 2 cm below the seat. I find this a nice compromise for a reach to the drop and control of the bike when I stand up. But since my stoker doesn't like to stand up I could raise the bars a bit. It's an ahead set up, but i left two spacers above the stem for this eventuality. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

From the main Groups page, instead, the link is called Preview the new Google Groups. Just click and go.

[RBW] FS Son Hub Edelux
Thought I'd give this another go before heading off to the Bay.. I bought both of these for a project that is on hold for a long while and can use the money more than these beautiful parts sitting on my shelf :) The hub is polished silver, 32 holes, with skewer, manual and connectors. Perfect condition, took it out of the box to admire then put back gently. The light is black and comes with the 140 cm cable. I took it out of the package (just a plastic ziploc) only to make sure it lit. Simply pressed the ends of the wire to the contacts of a dynamo wheel spinning in a truing stand. Comes with manual and connectors. I have photos I'd be happy to send if it's helpful. New on Peter White cycles the hub goes for $253 and the light $195 plus shipping Asking $215 shipped for the hub and $165 shipped for the light, $370 shipped for both. I haven't seen these ever on sale, so I think these are fair prices. Let me know, would love these to get some use!

[RBW] 1993 Bridgestone BUB for sale -- $150
In case anyone here may be interested, I'm offering up my 1993 Bridgestone BUB for sale. It's not in primo shape but it does ride well and includes the original fenders and kickstand. The original catalog listing is below -- this is the 50cm variety and will fit pretty much anyone over 5'6 or so. I definitely don't want to ship it, so local pickup only in Longmont, Colorado. The sticker in the picture is from University Bicycles, where this bike began its life as a rental.

[RBW] Re: I caved...totally, epically caved...
If I was buying a sportwool jersey I'd probably get one of these. http://roadholland.com/shop/index.php?p=home MUSA too. Also...I can seem to find a Rapha jersey color combination in the last few years that I was willing to pay that much for. I seem to prefer either Woolistic or Ibex for sizing, quality and color/design. ~mike 'tOn Jun 24, 5:15 pm, dan gee dmg...@gmail.com wrote: Rapha's stuff generally looks great, but the fact that most of it seems to be made in China or Vietnam has always been a dealbreaker for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Looks like their models suffer from the same sort of epicness... or they need more fiber in their diets.

I have two pair of the touring shorts and they are Epic! They were an indulgence, I'll admit.

[RBW] Re: Thumbies vs BEs
our '95 trek tandem is the only bike I have Campy ergoshifters on. Trying to keep the wife happy, steer this battleship and stay safe takes concentration.
